Strange motor noise with 3.6.0-beta.2

balajiramani

I updated to 3.6.0-beta.2 and I noticed that there were some strange motor noise during printing. I also noticed that there were some layer shifts some times. I am attaching a video that shows the noise. I later lowered the acceleration for both X and Y from 4000 to 1000 and the noise went away. I went back to 3.6.0-beta.1 and noticed that there were no issues and the printer is able to handle the acceleration value of 4000.

The printer I have is a delta (not sure if this is something specific to a delta).

Here is the gcode that triggered the issue

22-334StringStar2L2N4open_0.2mm_PLA_BigDelta_12m.gcode

@balajiramani It's difficult to know what noise is 'strange', or where it's coming from. Is it the 'hissing' noise? Is it coming from the delta tower motors, or the extruder? What Duet board are you using? Are you using input shaping? Please post your config.g and response to M122.

Also, what release did you do the update from? There was a time when RRFdefaulted to stealth chop; spreadcycle is the new default

@oliof he did say it was between 3.6.0-beta1 and 3.6.0-beta2.

@droftarts The hissing sound is from the fans. The noise that I am referring to can be heard at 7 and 19 seconds in the video. It is from the delta tower motors. I am using a Duet Wifi 2 board. Input shaping is turned on. Here is the config.g file. Here is the output of M122 when the issue arises:
